The "10 lb. (pound)-2" (inch)" rule is as follows: Any orphan in
the cast of "Annie"
cannot remain in the cast if she gains 10 lbs. or grows 2 inches. All of
the orphans
are measured and weighed on a regular basis to keep track of height and
weight.
1. If Annie is 46 inches
tall now, how tall will she be when she grows 2 inches?
2. If Molly weighs
42 pounds now, how much will she weigh when she gains 10
pounds?
3. If Duffy is now
49 inches tall, and last year she was 47 inches tall, how many inches
has she grown?
4. Tessie weighed 39
pounds when she first joined the cast. Now she weighs 46
pounds. How much more does she weigh now?
5. Annie's understudy
weighed 48 pounds. When she was sick, she lost 4 pounds.
Now how much does she weigh?
